If you open an IE Modal Dialog window and later on need to resize it using JavaScript code, standard “window.resizeTo” method doesn’t work. Use dialogWidth and dialogHeight instead. For example:

window.dialogWidth='640px';
window.dialogHeight='480px';

   @Joshua Chavez The code is pretty straightforward and shouldn’t cause any problems. Are you using Internet Explorer and JavaScript function showModalDialog? Can you post snippets of your code?
